Louisa’s Review:
This book seriously has the Capulet’s and Montague’s, their feuding
families in Ventura, California.
It’s a modern day Romeo and Juliet..
but the story revolves around Rosaline and Bryson.
Romeo and Juliet are secondary characters,
but their love story will impact Rosaline.
This book is truly a YA book. It has a sweet coming of age story line
with honest, innocent love.
I enjoyed reading a book that wasn’t all about sex when it
comes to 16 year olds.
To watch the relationship between the two evolve was beautiful.
They fight their feelings for eachother because they have both had
pasts that have impacted their lives and ability to trust.
One of my favorite ways to read a book…dual point of view.
We get to hear Rosaline and Bryson’s view of their friendship
and budding relationship.
The small love story with Rosaline’s Aunt and Bryson’s Uncle is also
nice to watch as it develops.
I would love to read a book about them actually!!
Being sent to Arkansas after making ONE mistake, will change Rosaline forever.
For a sweet, kind story, check out Losing Romeo.
3/5 Stars
